Swanson Green Leaf Stevia Extract 100 Packets

What is the first ingredient? Not Stevia right? READ: Maltodextrin has a high glycemic index which ranges from 105 - 136 on glycemic index charts. Maltodextrin is not often recognized on food labels as a sugar because it doesn't have the familiar "ose" ending. Maltodextrin is found in foods such as salad dressings, canned fruits, weight "gainer" supplements and a variety of snack foods; it is also a main ingredient in the brand-name sugar substitute Splenda."\nSwanson, doesn't your stevia taste good enough without adding sugar to it?

I have tried everything in the way of sweeteners without calories before I found stevia. Since then I have tried stevia in every form being offered in our local retail outlets. Even grew my own stevia one season before discovering Swanson Premium Green Leaf Extract. As long as it is available my search is over.

I have always been so skeptical to try new or different things, especially when it comes to my diet. I sometimes used the pink stuff to save on calories but we know it can kill rats. I tried other things that I just didn't care for, except honey. But there again, the calories. This is the best alternative to sugar there is. There is no after taste like many other things. Just a pinch is all it takes. I love it.!!!

I like Stevia.....a lot. Some don't because of the after taste. I found that Swanson's is the best for using large volume's of liquid. Like in summer ice tea by the pitcher full !\n\nAlso, I buy fat free plain yogurt in the large container ! I put in two packets of the Swanson Stevia and stir in around real well. Yum, it's fine !\nThen I add a fruit or a frozen fruit in the blender and have a great healthy snack.\n\nCan't beat the price....Swanson's the best.

Have used Stevia for years and years...it seems.Anyway ...found that if I add a packet of Stevia to a glass of water and take other supplements with it, the other supplements seem to absorb much better. I'm not sure why.... try it...then let us know if it seems to work that way for you!
